The two volumes Studies on Scarab Seals are the most authoritive yet written on the classification and chronology of scarab styles, and cover the period 2200-1550 BC. Volume I deals with the early history of scarab manufacture down to Amenemhet I. An Appendix by Dr. S.I. Bishara describes the life cule and habits of the scarb beetle, and Professor Ward also discusses the significance of the scarab form. Volume II, by Olga Tufnell, continues the stylistic history, covers the roal-name scarabs, and extends the study to include the archaeology of Middle Bronze Age Palestine. (
